g-pro-3

LG G Pro 3 could be the Korean company’s first mobile device to use its own mobile chip, the long-time rumored LG Odin.If everything goes as planned, TSMC will be manufacturing the chip that will power-up LG’s next flagship phablet. Since that device will be announced in 2015, we would expect Odin to boast a 64-bit architecture. Or not, it’s not like LG already makes 32-bit chips.

No exact dates are mentioned in the fresh G Pro 3-centric report originating from Korea, but our guess is the 6-inch or so handset will land roughly six months after the “standard” G3 and a year on the heels of the G Pro 2.Apparently, LG intends to take yet another page from Samsung’s playbook, going its own way in mobile processor production. The Odin will be reportedly manufactured in partnership with TSMC, a semiconductor designer responsible among others for Apple’s A8 SoC.
